Cincinnati Pride Week

It’s Pride week in Cincinnati, and although we will have to wait for the festival and parade until Saturday, June 25th, there are plenty of events going on around town during the rest of the week.

The Cincinnati Men’s Chorus is having a Pride concert later today (June 18th), and there’s a fundraiser at the Below Zero Lounge Monday (June 20th).

On Tuesday, the bicycle Pride Ride leaves Fountain Square at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at dusk you can enjoy Clueless in Washington Park.

Thursday sees an interfaith service in the evening, and Friday evening is the Cincinnati Pride Community Recognition Ceremony.

Saturday, of course, is the highlight of the week. The parade gets rolling at 11 a.m. and the festival will be held in Sawyer Point from noon until 9 p.m.

Although many of these events are free, a few do require advance tickets (such as the recognition ceremony and the Men’s Chorus concert). For more information about tickets, times, and venues, check out the official Cincinnati Pride event page here.
